The 2H253-25R SmartSwitch 2200
Introduction
1-1
Overview
The 2H253-25R is used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations,
or to provide a central switching point for multiple 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet segments. The
optional HSIMs provide high speed uplinks to networking technologies such as Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network (WAN), and
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Some HSIMs can provide additional Fast Ethernet ports in
varying media types. The optional VHSIMs provide very high speed uplinks to networking
technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet and ATM.
The 2H253-25R ports can be configured to control frame traffic in several ways, including
prioritizing traffic flow according to protocol type. The 2H253-25R can also be configured to
establish Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and control the flow of frames associated with
each VLAN according to priority and Ether type. Detailed information about VLANs is provided
in the Cabletron Systems 802.1Q VLAN User’s Guide.
The 2H253-25R may be used as a tabletop unit or can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using
the supplied rack mounting hardware.
The 2H253-25R has two power supplies. The power supplies load share 50% (+/-5%) of the power
required by the device. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply assumes the entire
load of the device without interruption to network traffic. Each power supply module supports its
own ac input connection, which enables each power supply to be connected to a different ac power
circuit.
1.1.1
Connectivity
The 2H253-25R connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through two RJ21 ports on the
front panel. Each RJ21 connector contains 12, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. These ports are IEEE
802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant, and they support Category 3
(10-Mbps operation only) and Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cabling. The Category 5
cabling must have an impedance of between 85 and 111 ohms at lengths up to 100 meters.
The device also has a slot for an optional HSIM or VHSIM to provide additional connectivity to
various networking technologies.
1.1.2
Auto-Negotiation
The fixed twisted pair ports (1 through 24) on the 2H253-25R have the ability to auto-negotiate the
type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two
devices automatically exchange information so they know each others operating capabilities. The
Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two
devices. For example, the 2H253-25R can adjust to 100 Mbps when the device on the other end of
the connection can also adjust from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. If the device on the other end of the
connection can only operate at 10 Mbps, then the 2H253-25R simply adjusts to operate at
10 Mbps.
1-2
Introduction
Overview
When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two devices dynamically adjust to
full or half duplex operation based on the maximum capability that can be reached between the
two devices. If the device connected to the 2H253-25R cannot auto-negotiate, the 2H253-25R
operates according to the capabilities of the other device.
1.1.3
Runtime IP Address Discovery
This feature enables the 2H253-25R device to automatically accept an IP address from a Boot
Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the network without requiring a user to enter an IP address
through Local Management.
When the device is connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery
(RAD) checks the device for an IP address. If one has not yet been assigned (device IP address set
to 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the device interfaces have a link. If so, RAD sends out
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) and BootP requests to obtain an IP address from a
BootP server on the network.
The RAD requests start at an interval of 1 per second. The interval then doubles after every
transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300
seconds. The RAD requests continue until an IP address is received from a RARP or BootP server,
or an IP address is entered using Local Management.
The 2H253-25R will reboot after RAD is successful.
NOTE
1.1.4
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
Each switched Fast Ethernet port on the 2H253-25R supports 10/100 Mbps operation, and can
operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE enables each port to provide up to
200 Mbps of bandwidth to connected devices that support FDSE.
1.1.5
SmartTrunk
Traditional 802.1D Spanning Tree Bridges only allow one active data path between any two
switches; all other parallel data paths are in Standby or Blocking mode. If one interface or path
should fail, then the other interface automatically comes out of Blocking mode and forwards all of
the traffic. This is fine for redundancy purposes. However, it is not the most efficient use of
resources.
Introduction
1-3
Overview
SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load
balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk provides the ability to take full advantage of the network’s
redundant bandwidth. SmartTrunk divides network traffic across multiple ports in parallel to
provide additional throughput. The SmartTrunk application can be used with any of Cabletron
Systems’ switch modules (except ATM modules).
For more information about SmartTrunk and how to configure it the SmartSwitch device, refer to
the Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide.
1.1.6
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 2H253-25R supports all nine Ethernet RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and
History groups are enabled on all ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the
ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON
Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast
threshold is crossed.
1.1.7
Broadcast Suppression
Broadcast Suppression enables a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per
second to be forwarded out the other ports on the device. Any broadcast frames above this
specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and
unicast frames continue to be switched.
1.1.8
Port/VLAN Redirect Functions
The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to
map traffic from a single source port to a single destination port within the device. This feature
allows frames, including those with errors to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe.
The analyzer or RMON probe will see the data as if it were directly connected to the LAN segment
of the source port.
The VLAN redirect function is similar to the port redirect function except that the frames received
by the device are redirected to a designated destination port according to the VLAN classification
of the frames received. Multiple VLANs can be directed to the same port. The VLAN redirect
function is only supported when the device is operating as an 802.1Q switch.
1-4
Introduction
Overview
1.1.9
Rate Limiting
The Rate Limiting feature enables the SmartSwitch device to control traffic rates on a per-port,
per-priority basis. The network administrator can configure a rate limit (from 100 kbps to 1 Gbs)
for a given port with an associated list of IEEE 802.1p priorities (which can include one, some, or
all of the eight priority levels defined in 802.1p). Each rate limit is specified as an inbound or an
outbound limit. The combined rate of all traffic on the port that matches the listed priorities cannot
exceed the programmed limit. If the rate exceeds the defined limit, frames are dropped until the
rate falls below the limit.
Administrators can configure up to four rate limit rules per port; however, each rule must not
include conflicting 802.1p priority values. In order to control traffic inbound and outbound on the
same port, two rate limit rules must be configured (one inbound and one outbound). Since the rate
limiting operation occurs after the processing of the multi-layer classification rules, the two
features can be combined to provide application-aware rate limiting.
This traffic rate function is not supported on ports configured as SmartTrunk ports.
NOTE
For more information about the application of the Traffic Rate function, refer to the SmartSwitch
Series 2E253, 2H252, 2H253 and 2H258 Local Management User’s Guide.
1.1.10 Flow Control
Flow control is a method of managing the flow of frames between two devices. It ensures that a
transmitting device does not overwhelm a receiving device with data. This is accomplished by the
transmitting device pausing its transmission while the receiving device processes the frames
already received.
The 2H253-25R supports the following two types of flow control:
•
Frame based 802.3x
•
Back pressure
Frame based 802.3x flow control is supported on all Ethernet ports operating in the full duplex
mode. Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a port-by-port basis.
Back pressure flow control is supported on all Ethernet ports operating in the standard mode of
operation. Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a port-by-port basis.
Introduction
1-5
Overview
1.1.11 GARP Switch Operation
Some or all ports on the switch may be activated to operate under the Generic Attribute
Registration Protocol (GARP) applications, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and/or
GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP).
GARP is a protocol, or set of rules, that outlines a mechanism for propagating the port state and/or
user information throughout a bridged LAN to keep track of users and VLANs on the network
fabric. MAC bridges and end users alike can take part in the registration and de-registration of
GARP attributes such as VLAN and multicast group membership. For more details on how GVRP
and GMRP handle frames under GARP, and how to configure the switch ports to take advantage of
this operation, refer to the SmartSwitch Series 2E253, 2H252, 2H253 and 2H258 Local
Management User’s Guide.
1.1.12 802.1 Port Priority
The 802.1 port priority is used to assign a default priority to the frames received without priority
information in their tag header, map prioritized frames to the appropriate transmit queues, and
prioritize frames according to protocol type. The 802.1 port priority is part of the IEEE 802.1D
standard.
1.1.13 Management
Management of the 2H253-25R is accomplished using SNMP-compliant management tools for
in-band Local Management. Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM
port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote
management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
Local Management described in the SmartSwitch Series 2E253, 2H252, 2H253 and 2H258 Local
Management User’s Guide provides the ability to manage the 2H253-25R, and optional HSIMs
and VHSIMs that support Ethernet. For information about Local Management for optional
non-Ethernet HSIMs or VHSIMs, refer to their respective user’s guide.
1.1.14 Switching Options
The 2H253-25R provides 802.1Q switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services
between all of the front panel interfaces including the optional HSIM or VHSIM interface. In the
802.1Q mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch until
VLANs are configured.
IEEE 802.1Q switching and SecureFast switching allow migration to Virtual Network
technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.

Connecting Power
The two power supplies in the 2H253-25R have automatic voltage sensing that allows
connection to power sources ranging from 100–125 Vac, 2.5 A or 200–240 Vac, 1.25 A,
50/60 Hz.
To connect the 2H253-25R to the power sources, proceed as follows:
1. Plug each power cord into a grounded wall outlet, see Figure 3-5. To take advantage of the load
sharing and redundancy capabilities, each power cord must be plugged into a separate dedicated
ac outlet. The POWER LED turns ON (green) and the CPU LED alternates between green and
amber during boot up. It takes approximately one minute for the 2H253-25R to boot up.
NOTE
If the power-up sequence is interrupted on this device, or if optional hardware has been
installed or removed, this device may run an extended diagnostics sequence that may
take up to five minutes to complete.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from
the network or other devices to the 2H253-25R. To make connections to an optional HSIM or
VHSIM installed in the HSIM/VHSIM slot of the 2H253-25R, refer to the associated user’s guide
for the HSIM or VHSIM.
NOTE
If the 2H253-25R is being installed in a network using SmartTrunking, there are rules
concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for
SmartTrunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the Cabletron
Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide for the configuration information.
Each of the two RJ21 connectors on the front panel have 12 UTP port connections. These ports (1
through 24) are 10/100 ports with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation, use a
straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices, such as another bridge, repeater, or
router, use a crossover cable.
NOTE
If a port is connected to a 10-Mbps segment, Category 3 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cable is sufficient to use. However, if the segment is to carry 10- or 100-Mbps
transmissions, use only Category 5 UTP cabling that has an impedance of between 85
and 111 ohms.
To connect an RJ21, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered on.
2. If using an RJ21 straight connector, plug it into the appropriate RJ21 port as shown in
Figure 3-6.

NOTE
The cable pinouts for a 25-pair cable (RJ21) can be found in the Cabletron Systems
Cabling Guide. Refer to Section 1.2 for details on how to obtain this document.
4. Verify that a link exists on each twisted pair segment of the RJ21 connector by checking that
the associated port RX LED is on (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX
LED is off and the TX LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:
a. Verify that the LED switch located near the COM port of the device is in the left-most
position (RX and TX LED indicators) as shown in Figure 3-6.
b. Verify that the UTP cabling used is Category 3 (for 10BASE-T) or Category 5 (for
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX). The Category 5 cabling must have an impedance of between
85 and 111 ohms.
NOTE
If a port is to operate at 10 and 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Refer to
Section 2.3 for information about 100BASE-TX networks and cabling.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
After installing the 2H253-25R and any optional HSIM or VHSIM, and making the connections to
the network, proceed as follows:
1. Secure the cables by running the cables along the strain-relief bracket and tying them to the
strain-relief bracket using cable ties.
2. The 2H253-25R is now ready to be configured through Local Management. Refer to the
SmartSwitch Series 2E253, 2H252, 2H253, and 2H258 Local Management User’s Guide for

Using LANVIEW
The LED MODE switch is located on the front panel of the 2H253-25R as shown in Figure 4-1.
This switch enables the user to change the function of the port LEDs. When the LED MODE
switch is moved to the left, the LEDs indicate the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) status of the
respective fixed ports (ports 1 through 24). When the LED MODE switch is moved to the right, the
port LEDs indicate whether the respective ports are operating in the standard or full duplex mode
(FDX) and if their operating speed (SPD) is 10 or 100 Mbps.
NOTE
The LED mode switch does not change the function of any LEDs on an installed HSIM
or VHSIM.
Table 4-1 describes the LED indications and provides recommended actions as appropriate.
Refer to the HSIM or VHSIM user’s guide for a description of the HSIM or VHSIM LED
indications.
The terms flashing, blinking, and solid used in Table 4-1 indicate the following:
NOTE
Flashing indicates an LED is flashing randomly.
Blinking indicates an LED is flashing at a steady rate (approximately 50% on, 50% off).
Solid indicates a steady LED light. No pulsing.

SIMM Upgrade
DO NOT attempt a Forced BootP unless a BootP server has been configured for the
2H253-25R. The BootP server references the location of a station acting as a Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server containing the 2H253-25R image file.
When the position of Switch 6 is changed and the power is cycled to the 2H253-25R, the device
requests the image file location from the BootP server and uses TFTP to download the image
from the TFTP server. If one of these requirements is not met, the 2H253-25R continues to
request either the BootP server or the TFTP server until the RESET button on the 2H253-25R
is pressed. Once the RESET button is pressed, the 2H253-25R resets after one minute and loads
the image stored in FLASH memory.
•
Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets NVRAM on the next
power-up of the device. All user-entered parameters, such as the IP address, device names, etc.,
are reset to the factory default settings. Once the 2H253-25R resets, you can either use the
factory default settings or reenter your own parameters.
•
Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Names. Changing the position of this switch clears
user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the factory default passwords on the
next power-up of the device. Once the 2H253-25R resets, you can either use the factory default
settings or reenter your own passwords.
NOTE
B.4
Do not change the position of Switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the module
super-user configured passwords to their factory default settings.
SIMM UPGRADE
Memory upgrade is available for the 2H253-25R to expand its DRAM to 32 MB. This section
explains how to locate and add/replace a Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM). For information
